Nope, not popcorn popping on the Apricot tree, but just about as unlikely. I was pulling into my drive way one afternoon, and right across the street from my house where these two cute little MOOSE! I couldn't believe it...I still can't.
I looked out the window and what did I see?

D.A.R.E.

It seems like anymore there's a graduation for everything. Lexie's school makes them take drug and alcohol awareness classes (taught by a police officer) where they study the effects of related abuse, and resistance methods. They then have to write an essay and present it to the class at the end of the term stating what they've learned and swearing off any possibility of ever using. She had her D.A.R.E. graduation and to make it special they sang some festive songs and received diplomas.
Doesn't she look so excited...NOT!

Easter 2010
April 2010
Jaden was invited to play in a baseball tournament down in Mesquite, Nevada over Easter break this year so we loaded up the kiddos and headed south...to much warmer weather I might add. Since we were only 3 hours from Travis' parents, we decide that after the games on Saturday we would speed down to Bullhead City so that Travis could go to the Priesthood session on conference with his dad. Although our visit was short, less than 48 hours, we had a great time and the kids loved doing all the fun Easter festivities with "Nana Bear" and "Papa Beav."

Our poor little Maddie licked up some Children's Motrin that had splashed on the floor, and it literally almost killed her. It took a few days for the affects to set in, but when they did, She had no color whatsoever; her gum's, tongue, ears and tummy where completely white. She became very lethargic and the poor thing was totally miserable! The morning I took her to the vet she actually passed out and I thought she was dying! Our vet had to take lots of blood to try and figure out what was going on and Chloe thought that it was so fun that Maddie had a wrapped arm just like she did.

CAUTION: IF YOU HAVE A WEAK TUMMY, THIS MAY NOT BE FOR YOU!
Considering the fact that both Jaden and Lexie had each broken one of their legs by the time they were 2, Travis and I were feeling pretty confident when Chloe hit 5 and was still broken bone free. On Sunday, June 7, after finishing up a week of State Basketball over in Boise, we decided to head over to Melba to see my grandpa before we came home. We had had a wonderful visit and were just wrapping things up, Travis had even told the kids to get their shoes on it was time to leave. Not 2 minutes later, Lexie came blazing around the house, screaming in the most horrific voice I have ever heard! Travis went flying out the door, and rounded the house only to see a very pale, stunned Chloe walking towards him with a dangling arm...it was probably the most horrific scene I have ever witnessed. It turns out that Chloe had been playing out on the trapeze bar on the swing set. She was upside down and scared and let go hands first. The way her arm bent to protect her head snapped both bones clear through, therefore, her armed just dangled. She sat on my lap all the way into the closest hospital, which happened to be a 30 minute drive, and she never cried on bit. I kept waiting for her to pass out, or throw up or something, but nothing...she was in complete and total shock! Her eyes were rolling, her head was bobbling and the only thing she was worried about was not being able to do gymnastics and perform in her dance recital. The hospital visit took a good 4 hours from start to finish; too many non-emergent patients, and too few nurses and Doctors. We spent over an hour just waiting for pain meds and then another 2 hours waiting for the orthopedic surgeon to reset her arm. As we were trying to wake her up from her "la la" juice (they knocked her out while they set her arm...thankgoodness), she was all sorts of crazy! Poor Chloe kept telling me that I was scaring her, I had three eye's and she really just wanted her "real" mom back. At this point I had to cover her eyes and just let her hear my voice. Needless to say, EVERYONE got a good laugh at her.
